For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Rise Carr, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Shower tray repair in Rise Carr, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and chips on the edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Rise Carr
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Rise Carr questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
